Battersea Bitter

Formerly brewed at Battersea
Style: Bitter
London, England

Cask at the Hole in the Wall. A very average Enlish bitter, with both maltiness and some bitterenss from the hops, but nothing here to lift it above the crowd,

Half pint on cask. Dark brown body with short-lived head. Marked dried fruit and spicy aroma. Herbal flavour with hints of dark berries. Nice bitter finish. Extraordinary and quite good (Served at room temperature at The Hole in The Wall, Waterloo, London 18.09.2006).

Cask at the Hole In the Wall. Soft fruity bitter with some floral notes but in poor condition and borderline vinegar.

Cask at Hole In the Wall London SE1 1 May 06. Mahogany colour. A white lasting creamy head. Fruity smell and taste. A modest bitter aftertaste. Not bad.

Cask handpump at ’Hole in the Wall’ Waterloo, London. Mid brown bitter, hardly any head to speak of, starts off wonderful with plenty of hops and spicy flavours kicking around but after a while I found it a little too sweet and realised it was’nt quite as good as I initially thought, nonetheless it’s a good effort.

Cask Handpump at the Ship & Mitre, Liverpool 13/06/2002 Mid brown coloured with some fruit and grassy aromas. Slihgtly dry lasting malt finish.

Cask conditioned at The Hole in the Wall, Waterloo, London. Orange amber beer with slight whispy head. Perfectly drinkable hoppy light session bitter with hints of grapefruit and a floral hoppy nose. Dry and bitter, an enjoyable beer.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a fast dying head. The aroma is sweet spicy - with ginger coming thru. The flavor is sweet - too sweet in my opinion - with some estery notes, leading to a dry end.
